Title of Collection: 2019 Survey of
Doctorate Recipients.
OMB Approval Number: 3145–0020.
Expiration Date of Approval: June 30,
2020.
Type of Request: Intent to seek
approval to renew an information
collection for three years.
1. Abstract. The Survey of Doctorate
Recipients (SDR) has been conducted
biennially since 1973 and is a
longitudinal survey. The 2019 SDR will
consist of a sample of individuals under
76 years of age who have earned a
research doctoral degree in a science,
engineering or health (SEH) field from a
U.S. institution. The purpose of this
panel survey is to collect data that will
be used to provide national estimates on
the doctoral science and engineering
workforce and changes in their
employment, education and
demographic characteristics.
The National Science Foundation Act
of 1950, as subsequently amended,
includes a statutory charge to ‘‘. . .
provide a central clearinghouse for the
collection, interpretation, and analysis
of data on scientific and engineering
resources, and to provide a source of
information for policy formulation by
other agencies of the Federal
Government.’’ The SDR is designed to
comply with these mandates by
providing information on the supply
and utilization of the nation’s doctoral
level scientists and engineers.
Data will be obtained by web survey,
mail questionnaire, and computerassisted telephone interviews beginning
in February 2019. The survey will be
collected in conformance with the
Confidential Information Protection and

Jkt 244001

Statistical Efficiency Act of 2002 and
the individual’s response to the survey
is voluntary. NCSES will ensure that all
information collected will be kept
strictly confidential and will be used
only for statistical purposes.
2. Use of the Information. NCSES uses
the information from the SDR to prepare
congressionally mandated reports such
as Women, Minorities and Persons with
Disabilities in Science and Engineering
and Science and Engineering Indicators.
NCSES publishes statistics from the
SDR in many reports, but primarily in
the biennial series, Characteristics of
Scientists and Engineers with U.S.
Doctorates. A public release file of
collected data, designed to protect
respondent confidentiality, also will be
made available to researchers on the
internet.
3. Expected Respondents. The U.S.
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) previously directed that NCSES
enhance and expand the sample to
measure employment outcomes by the
fine field of degree taxonomy used in
the Survey of Earned Doctorates. This
was initiated in the 2015 cycle and
maintained in the 2017 cycle. For the
2019 SDR, a statistical sample of
approximately 120,000 individuals with
U.S. earned doctorates in science,
engineering or health will be contacted.
This sample will include approximately
106,400 individuals residing in the U.S.
and 13,600 residing abroad. NCSES
expects the overall 2019 SDR response
rate to be approximately 75 percent.
4. Estimate of Burden. The amount of
time to complete the questionnaire may
vary depending on an individual’s
circumstances; however, on average, it
takes approximately 25 minutes. Thus,
NCSES estimates that the total annual
burden for both components will be
37,500 hours (that is, 120,000
respondents at 75% response rate for 25
minutes).
